Sufi night

last night
I will spend my last night tonight here in Gilgit, in the north of Pakistan before I head down to Islamabad again to pick up my visa for India and carry on traveling the same day to Lahore. Long sentence, puh. I will have a look to Lahore for about three days and see a local dance thing what somebody told me, before I go to India. Its gonna be more or less a tough journey in India, since I want to see a lot and do not have much time for it. I will go to Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Kolkata, fly from there to Goa, hang out in the South and finally to Chennai. Within this incredible fast journey I’ll try to visit also one of these places where you only eat, sit and sleep for 10 days. I don’t really know how I want to manage all those things, but I also don’t really care if I do it or not. Most of the times I set myself a plan up to change it afterwards again – more exciting that way.
Sounds good to me. On this journey I will finally start to take pictures, where people gonna say: “Haha, That’s funny, look at his head” or “Wow, he has only 1 leg” or “cool, his face looks so funny”. Since people need to be excited or shocked when confronted with pictures and since I want to make my money with photography I should go for it. Instead of finding the soul of people and capture it in picture and … whatever. I see where I have to go on my way of photography and I know what is still missing in my pictures, which is a good thing to know isn’t it ?!
So, buckle up and enjoy the most incredible pictures you ever have seen before. Well, that’s more my expectation and actually shouldn’tbe yours.
Update on Flickr
since size doesn’t matter anymore: I uploaded only small sizes on flickr and I don’t think anybody cares. Enjoy the view.
Gilgit and the Polo tournament
I am back in Gilgit (the north of Pakistan) where everything is much colder: the water, the air and standing in the shades. But the air is much much cleaner the people more relaxed and the scenery more beautiful. Once a year there is the Polo tournament where people come from the neighbored areas to figure out which town is the best. So, I went to the Polo tournament and would like to tell you some (more…)
